Heart Home and School

Back to work

Well, the vacation is over.  I am actually glad, I was itching to get back to work.  And although I love having my husband around all day, he tends to want my undivided attention.  Which is fun while it lasts, but I get less work done.  We are on a 5 week count down until the end of school.  I have been homeschooling for 4 years now and I tend to still lean toward the school-at-home format.  I am not a very organized person and get a little too worried about academics.  But in my heart I know that a more laid back, in depth approach would work better.  I have been slowly persuading my husband to that idea, along with the homesteading and letting God bless us with as many children as he wants.  He is slowly coming around to all of those things to different degrees.  On his vacation we actually went driving around the more rural areas, looking at the houses and land that we felt we could afford.  And he brought up the subject of chickens to his mom, which has been one of my dreams.  So hopefully I am doing the right thing.  All of these things have a strong pull on my heart.  And I feel that God is leading me to them. 

Anyway, here is what I have accomplished so far today:

~ School finished with all of the kids, including Faith's preschool.

~ Home made chicken pot pie pasties made, and frozen for future use.

~ All laundry washed

~ Dinner started

~ Brownies cooking

~ 3 mile run

~ Seeds organized for planting tomorrow

And here are the things that I want to finish before bed:

~ The rest of the laundry folded And put away

~ Bathrooms cleaned

~ Pick up a few things at the store

~ Grade 2 math tests

~ Baths for Andrew and Ben

That should get me through the rest of the night, hopefully I will have time to finish the puzzle I've been working on and read a few chapters in my book, Praise Her in the Gates.  Until Later,

Nicki
